As our community continues to grow across cities, there's something powerful about coming together in person. Last week, we’ve hosted Host & Toast gatherings in Orlando, Atlanta, and Charlotte, and each event reminded us why face-to-face connection still matters.

Each city brought its own flavor. Here is Emily’s take on Atlanta’s Host & Toast:

“At our Atlanta Host & Toast, we reconnected with several hosts who first met at our October event and have continued meeting up since then. There’s a monthly women’s meetup (they even brought along a brand new host and customer this time, someone who hasn’t even listed yet); there’s also a guys’ group, and a North Georgia mountains crew that regularly keeps in touch.

There's value in the Host & Toast's beyond Hospitable. Our customers are meeting each other, maintaining those relationships and going on to support each other and new hosts. It's really special.”

Gabby, who visited all three cities, says:

We loved seeing our hosts mingle, share stories, and build real community beyond the platform. From brand-new hosts to familiar faces, every conversation brought something special.

We got to hear firsthand what our customers love about Hospitable and sat down to chat about new ideas and feature suggestions too. Every host brought their own perspective and expertise, and it was incredible to see people collaborating to optimize their short-term rentals in a space designed for connection.

Thanks to everyone who joined us!

A huge thank you to the Hospitable team who welcomed the community in person: ​Alan Sincich, Derek Jones, Brandon Huetteman, Gabby Gedeon, and Emily Tunggala.
